Upcoming College Basketball Gambling Guide: St. John's Red Storm in March Madness 2025
Rewritten Article:
NEW YORK CITY - College basketball has witnessed an unexpected surge this year, with the St. John's Red Storm making some serious noise! Transforming from a modest 20-13 record in the previous season to an impressive 27-4 record, they positioned themselves as the #6 team in the nation at the end of the regular season.
The #6 ranking represents the Red Storm's 5th highest ranking all-time since their entry into the Big East back in 1980. They're also gearing up for their 4th March Madness appearance since 2003, marking their first run in six years.
Legal sports betting sites have an eye on St. John's, listing them with the 8th shortest odds at an enticing +2000. This is their lowest odds total of the season so far. Initially starting the season at staggering +5600 odds to win March Madness, the odds dropped significantly throughout the season.
It's worth mentioning that from January to February, their odds fell below +4000 and finally closed at +2000 at season's end. Despite their impressive run, the Red Storm has failed to advance past the second round in the last five March Madness appearances.
Looking at their game-by-game performance in the Big East, they lead the conference with an impressive 18-11-2 ATS record and a winning margin of 12.4 points. These figures surpass the competition in the Big East.
How to Bet on St. John's in NYC
New York residents itching to bet on St. John's during March Madness will face a minor hurdle. State-regulated sportsbooks like DraftKings unfortunately cannot offer odds on any in-state college teams or matches involving New York-based teams due to local regulations.
However, not all hope is lost! Select international sports betting sites, free from New York sports betting laws, are allowed to offer odds on St. John's and other New York-based college teams. This is because these offshore sites operate beyond the reach of US sports betting laws.
